Also, ice the area where the injection is to be received in order to reduce escape of as much of the mRNA as possible. The better it stays in the muscle tissue, the less risk of spike protein being produced by cells in the wrong places.

Great tip, thanks Matthew

How long should you ice it prior to going?

Thank you for the protocol aimed at avoiding vaccine adverse side effects.

I am 74 and a retired physician. I've now had three doses of Pfizer vaccine. First two doses were three weeks apart in February 2021. I pre-treated myself for the first dose based on information from South African Dr. Shankara Chetty who has had success treating COVID hypersensitivity reactions with antihistamines and anti-inflammatories. I had no reaction.

Two days after the second dose without further pretreatment (I had had no reaction after the first) I had a mild flu-like illness. Listening to the experience of Flávio A. Cadegiani, MD, MSc, Ph.D. from Brazil, I decided to up my game before the third shot. Dr. Cadegiani reported significant elevations in D-Dimer levels in his patients post vaccination indicating activation of the closing system. He also stated that he could blunt this with a pre-treatment dose of Ivermectin. I have been taking Aspirin 162 mg daily for eight years following recovery from a

mild CVA (so I wanted to avoid any hypercoagulaion). I sourced Ivermectin and took it the day prior to my third injection along with Quercetin/Zinc, Cetirizine, Pepcid. The third dose was completely uneventful. I avoid Vitamin C and D (my natural levels are over 50) due to a history of kidney stones.

Hi Scott, Where do you get the Ivermectin from and Quercetin. It seems they are hard to find and/or if you find them, they are expensive. ridiculous that they're making it hard to get this stuff.

See if you can find a provider that is willing to aspirate the syringe before injection. If they draw blood back into the syringe, you're about to have an inadvertent intravenous injection.

Thanks Charlie!

Hi Charlie, thanks for that video. What does aspirate mean? Can you explain the procedure?

Expand full comment

You aspirate a syringe by pulling back slightly on the plunger once the tip of the needle is set in the tissue, but before you complete the injection. You see IV drug users in films aspirating their syringe before sending the plunger home. In that case they want to inject directly into a vein so they are looking for some blood when they aspirate. Check the Just A Perfect Day scene from Trainspotting.

On the other hand, the COVID vaccines should NEVER be injected intravenously. They are supposed to be injected into the deltoid muscle tissue and stay there. If your provider were to aspirate and get blood, the injection should be aborted, the syringe discarded, and another attempt made.

Unfortunately, if you've read this much you probably know more about aspirating an injection than most of these people sticking shots into arms. I just saw where someone insisted the provider aspirate their COVID injection. The provider reluctantly agreed but ended up aspirating the syringe AFTER injecting the vaccine. Too late at that point.

Hi again,

So "intravenously" means into a vein (and that is where you don't want it), and "intramuscular" means directly into the muscle (which is where you want it so it doesn't enter the bloodstream?)? Am I understanding all that correctly?

So if I am now understanding aspirating properly, when you first place the needle in the arm, you pull back a bit, and if there is blood, then it is in the wrong spot, correct? So they should take it out and start again at that point?

If that were to happen, do they have to discard that whole dose and get a new needle? If so, I wonder if they would do that if you requested it.

Yes to all of the above, and yes, if they need a new needle and dose, so be it. You can find someone that agrees to it.

Thanks. If it has to be discarded, though, I don't see them wanting to throw away any doses. That, I think, is a major point even if I were able to get them to aspirate it. Do you see them willingly want to discard a dosage of the vaccine? So that is why I was interested to know if it could be done with the same one.

I just wanted to follow up on this (if anyone knows) as I haven't seen Dr. John Campbell say it (maybe I missed it in one of his videos), but why does the needle have to be discarded if the there is blood in it when aspirating? If they pull it out, it can't be reused? I don't know much about needles so that is why I am asking.

I am a retired anesthesiologist, and have given thousands of intramuscular injections over the years. A few comments: Aspirating is a common precaution done to avoid intravascular (vein or artery) direct injection. The small needle caliber used for vaccine injections (at least the ones I've had) are extremely unlikely to enter a vascular structure in a muscle, but the narrow lumen also makes it hard to aspirate blood. If there should be blood in the aspiration, I see no reason why the needle can't be re-directed until aspiration is negative. Of course proper needle hygiene demands that a needle should not be reused on a second patient.

"extremely unlikely to enter a vascular structure in a muscle"

See this interview with Kyle Warner where he describes tasting something foreign immediately upon getting his Pfizer injection. He went on to develop a severe cardiac reaction. They mention the mRNA vaccine manufactures recommend aspiration but the CDC issued guidance not to aspirate because it might increase injection site soreness.

Dr. Campbell in his video states he doesn't know how likely an inadvertent intravenous injection might be. It probably depends a lot on the musculature of the vaccinee. If anyone were really interested it shouldn't be too hard to design a study using a safe injectable that could be detected if if escapes into the vascular system. But then pharma and public health are experts at not asking questions they don't want answered.

Hi Scott, Interesting that you bought up the size of the needle (I wonder if different countries use different size needles? What country are you in if you don't mind me asking?). A doctor here in AU told me that when I asked him about aspirating. He mentioned the size of the needle, but I didn't really understand what he meant. He didn't think that it would make any difference at all by aspirating. He said that he doesn't think that would be a cause for whether or not you experience adverse reactions.

Hi Charlie, thanks a lot for the prompt reply. So even if I ask them to aspirate it, they may not know how to do it properly? Crap, don't like the sound of that.

I guess I will have to look up what the deltoid muscle is. So it should only be injected into the deltoid muscle, and if so, that is the best chance of it staying there?

50,000 IU of Vitamin D is an enormous amount. Over been taking 2000iU for months. Looks like I’ll have to go to chemist warehouse and find a larger dose.

Expand full comment

Yeah, that is a huge amount. Not sure how long you can take that amount for, though. 5000 to 10,000 a day is fine, but not sure about daily higher amounts. Once, though, that should be fine to take 50,000. Did you end up getting more and have you been taking it?
